Also known as a Webbie, this is a fantastic alternative to the Moleskine range of notebooks. Rhodia are a well-known French manufacturer of stationery, established over 75 years ago, and they have something of a cult following of their own.

These books have a hard-backed leatherette orange cover (black also available) with the traditional removable paper banding. The paper is a luxury ivory 90gsm vellum paper. The books also have an elastic closure strap and hidden inside pocket.

For those in the know, these are the third generation or version 3.0 of the book with lie-flat binding and no logo on the pages.

This notebook is really attractive and feels so nice; the cover is smooth and the paper is perfect to write on - no bleed through and no feathering. The service was first class and I couldn't fault it.

Rhodia pocket orange Webnotebook lined paper5 stars
moleskine sour flavorWritten by mathematiciani tired of moleskine and the cult of the black book , rather like the cult of apple these "team sport lack of identity individuals" cling to brand names , even when the brand is sub standard and overpriced. these heavy weight paper (archival safe acid free) notebooks are the best i have enjoyed in a while. the dot grid is even better than traditional grid 5mm , price wise there is little to choose .
a good fountain pen , and a dot grid notebook from rhodia is just about as close to mental nirvana as a scribbler can get ,
sorry for the trolling about apple and moleskines but its only painful because its true.

Does what it says on the tin but...Written by John G-DI can't fault the description and the various online reviews I read before purchasing this and the larger notebook as alternatives to my moleskines. I was led to do so because of the, undoubtedly correct, mention of the better "non-feathering/bleeding" quality of these as opposed to the moleskines. I can confirm that the bleeding problem did lead me to use either a rollerball or a fine fountain pen when writing in the moleskine. Having said that I simply prefer the whole look and feel of the moleskine to the rhodia. I'm sure it's a matter of personal preference but there we are! In future I shall stick to the moleskine.28th Jun, 2011
